WLAN button not wanting to work

Great that you got it to work.
As far as the blue light blinking that is normal for Beryl. My Acer Aspire does the exact same thing. When I have the laptop running XP the WLAN light is solid and steady on. But when I switch over to Beryl (LL 2.0) the light flashes. It is a representation that the wireless is communicating. No flashing light, no wireless. That's all.

And when you unplugged the cable did you mean the RJ45 cable to connect internet? If that's true, your wireless would not come on because you already had a connection through cable. When you disconnected RJ45 cable from computer it had no choice but to use the wireless.

Glad to hear it works. Another satisfied Beryl user.

No problem, that unplugging was to be my next suggestion (from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742492)

Hi,
Yes I do but it is enabled.

Well I dont know what I did just then but I unplugged the cable to move rooms and the wireless network was recognised. By the time I entered the details, the blue wlan light was on. So now it works. Brilliant :). Maybe I should have unplugged earlier.

I have noticed the blue light flashes quite a bit which is odd. I see other have asked about this. It never ever did that on XP.

Anyway, thanks for your help to get me going.
Cheers, Fraser

Jerry:
Do you have a lan/wan swithcher in the bios?

Fraser:
Yes it accepted that but after I rebooted still no change.
Still has 'Wi-FI is disabled by hardware switch' in the network panel.
